Now, that's an interesting question.
"thisIsAPrimitiveString"[Symbol.interator]
Returns the value of
String.prototype[@@iterator]
so arguably a primitive strings should be considered to be an Iteratable
As current spec'ed GetIterator("primitiveString") does in fact work with primitive strings. So, any conditional Iterable test also needs to consider a primitive string to be an Iterable. This isn't currently correctly handled in the ES6 spec. It's a new bug that I will fix.
